5.4 Written Examination Evaluation
The Program Director will notify the student of the grade received for each exam within three weeks of taking the exams.
Students must receive a grade of “B” (3.0) or higher on each component of the exam to pass. A grade of “B-” or below on the written exam will require remedial work determined by the Program Director and the dissertation advisor, which may require retaking the written exam. Remedial work usually takes the form of additional reading and/or research.
A second written exam follows the pattern of the first written exam in all respects. Failure to pass the written exam a second time may result in termination from the program.
